In the absence of ash or bta, where would you concentrate your search for the black morel? [ Post made via Mobile Device ]  This topic was moved from Welcome by mjmh on March 22nd, 2012, 2:05 pm.

Tough question huh? Let me say this. I live in an area with no white ash. We have some bta, but the dominant tree here is quaking aspen. I have yet to find a black morel in what little bta is available. I get a few yellows each year, mostly around apple trees. Is it possible that my area simply does not grow blacks? What other trees might produce blacks? I am in ne sanilac county mi. [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

I find a fair amount of blacks around wild cherry trees, but they are usually mixed in with BTA's.

Question, is there a good guide book to tree identification? I know what an elm looks like, especially the tell tale dead one with bark peeling off, but as far as being able to easily indetify ash, aspen, cherry, etc... any good guidebooks out there, any help would be appreciated.

There are many tree guide books out there, however we use the Autobon Tree Guide. I'd like to look for another giude myself. I'd Google Tree guides and see what will work best for you.

Do you know what kind of cherry trees they are gene? My field guide doesn't recognize "wild" as a specific tree. However it does make mention of wild black cherry. Thanks. [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

to the tree guide question: One that is specifically for your area is the best to buy, the more local the better as it will refer to your region specifically... for example i live in MI, my tree book is Trees of Michigan, Lone Pine Publishing. I really enjoy it compared to my NAS tree guide, information is more organized IMO. Also, some of these books use picture of mature tree bark, and it will look different from younger trees, so its best to use the leaves to identify trees when available (which of course are in your tree guide)
I would bet gene is using black cherry... but i could be wrong. dark shingling scaly bark, tall with small canopy... man this would be a nice tip if i can find some around them :) another user said they're better in clusters, but the mature lone trees can produce as well... have you found this to be accurate gene? also, is a mixed cherry woods with other associated morel trees better than say a cherry stand?

Last year i found most of my greys near old apple trees, and found my blacks in some old ferns, and found my whites near maple trees. Happy hunting everyone this spring of 2012!!!!
